Access to starting point:
From Mozirje or over Kranjski Rak we drive through Luče and ahead past Igla to Rogovilec a little before Solčava. There on the left side by the main road is a space for parking.
Path description:
First two hundred meters, the path runs on asphalt to the bridge over Savinja. We then continue on a footpath above the left bank of Savinja. A little higher we come on a cart track which brings us to the farm Pačnik. The path above the farm still runs on a cart track, and then on a footpath. When we overcome this steep part, the footpath turns and there begins a long quite exposed crossing. The footpath is gently ascending and several times also descends a little. At the crossing caution is needed. Even though the path all the time runs through the forest, because of the steepness below us the slipping would certainly be fatal. End of the crossing is at the marked rock. 20 meters to the right there is the first of many panoramic points on the further path. Here is also a trail blaze for mountain pasture Arta.
The path ahead leads steeply upwards, on the ridge above vertical walls of Raduha. When the path higher flattens, left upwards we notice an unmarked hunting path.
(HUNTING VARIANT: This path is used by hunters and it only follows the ridge ahead. The path is orientationally undemanding. Until we get to the salt lick for wild animals we only stick to the ridge. To the salt lick it is quite steep. Above the salt lick, the path flattens and it is well visible. Before we again come on a marked path for the camouflage hunters cutted down two larches. We only need to go over them and we are already on a marked path. The path on this variant is shorter for at least half an hour).
And marked path after a short descent brings us on the road on which we continue to the turn-off for cave Snežna jama. The cave is definitely worth seeing, how and when we find on the web. Past the cave we go ahead on the road to a log cabin on the mountain pasture Arta and before it left on the pasture upwards in the forest, which is with height becoming lower and in the upper part it passes into dwarf pines. Higher as we are, nicer are the views. At the altitude of M.Rt the path above a short grassy steepness turns to the right. If HERE we step to the edge a great view opens up on Robanov kot and beginning of our path Rogovilec. The path ahead runs again among dwarf pines. We soon also notice the peak. When we come out of the dwarf pines on a grassy upper slope we go left by dwarf pines to the edge above long walls of Raduha and safely by the edge to the top of Raduha. Along this edge with every step new views opening up into a valley. Panorama from the peak Raduha is unique.
We can descend on the route of the approach or on a very demanding climbing path to Grohat and ahead past the farmer Tolstovršnik to Rogovilec.
